I have had quite a few people ask about making miniature cruffins, so I am here to let you know that you can certainly make these into mini cheesy garlic cruffins. With each sheet of crescent roll dough, instead of making 4 cruffins, you will make 8 (for a total of 24 if using all three sheets of dough). Cut each log in half (like the original), and then cut in half again, for 4 small ‘logs’ of dough. Cut each small log in half lengthwise for a total of 8. Roll as directed and place into the prepared mini muffin tin. Bake for 18 minutes at 350°F. Then, brush the tops of the warm rolls with the garlic butter.

How to Store Cheesy Garlic Cruffins

After the cruffins have been baked, allow them to cool to room temperature. Store the leftovers in an airtight container. They will last up to 3 days, but I doubt it; they are THAT good!
